Reporters Without Borders (RSF)

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) is a non-governmental organization that advocates for freedom of expression and press freedom worldwide. Founded in 1982 by French journalist Roland Boisjoly, RSF has grown into a prominent voice on media rights issues. Recent events highlight the organization's concerns about government persecution of journalists, particularly in countries with authoritarian regimes. The sentencing of Tunisian journalists Bohran Bssaies and Mourad Zghidi to three-year prison terms is a notable example. Additionally, RSF's annual report reveals that Israel was responsible for the deaths of 29 Palestinian reporters in 2025, making it the leading killer of journalists globally. These developments underscore the ongoing struggle for press freedom and the importance of organizations like RSF in promoting and defending this fundamental human right.
